Pearls of wisdom in Proverbs
Out of sight, out of mind. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.【1】. Each of the phrases mentioned above teachers a common truth. But what exactly is a proverb? It’s a short statement that contains a general truth. It is popularly known and often repeated.
Every culture has proverbs.【2】. For example, many cultures value old people for their wisdom and experience. This idea can be found in proverbs. A Chinese proverb says, “An old horse will never get lost.” And a Portuguese proverb states, “An old pan is the one that makes good food.”【3】. The English say, “Good and quickly seldom meet.” The Chinese say, “Think three times before you act.” A Russian proverb exclaims, “Take your thoughts to bed with you, for the morning is wiser.”
There is a saying: To truly know a people, learn their proverbs. Proverbs contain a culture’s values and morals.【4】. People in Saudi Arabia value books and learning. One of their proverbs says, “A book is a garden carried in the pocket.” The French say. “There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.” So that culture thinks that being honest is important. Egyptians know that value of friendship. One of their proverbs says, “Friendship doubles joy and halves grief.”
In Africa, many proverbs also use images familiar to Africans. For example, “The best way to cat an elephant in your path is cut him up into little pieces.”【5】Or “A roaring lion kills no game.” This means that one cannot achieve anything by sitting around and talking about it. One must get out and strive for it.
